Confession Time: How Much Pumpkin Pie Did You REALLY Eat?

Hi everyone! I hope you had a lovely holiday weekend--I did! So, with all the talk about holiday eating last week, I'm curious how you fared. Too much pumpkin pie? Gravy overload? Speaking of holiday eating sins, I'll tell you mine, if you tell me yours ...

**** While I enjoyed a delicious--and healthy!--feast prepared by my brother's girlfriend (still thinking about that roasted butternut squash soup with tarragon oil/puree ... yum!), I really did screw up on Friday, when I found myself alone in a room with a plate full of chocolate-espresso cookies. (I recall a post that Margarita wrote recently about cookie cravings. One leads to two. Two leads to three. And then, well, you know.) Yes, I had more than I should have, but at least I managed to go easy on the pie! Speaking of cookies, did you see this recipe I posted for sesame-almond cookies that sound divine?

How about you? What holiday food did you go a little too ga-ga over? Misery loves company.
